Pub Crawl to Tory Island, Co Donegal, Ireland (Torai na dTonn [GC1C9KK])
I´m a 40 years old Ireland fan living 50 kilometres north of Hamburg in Germany. So far I´ve been to that beautiful country for seven times. Because of my two little children it is not possible for me to spend my holidays in Ireland this year. So I thought: "Well, I won´t go to Ireland this year, but my geocoins will!" This is the fifth of six geocoins I´m sending to remote places in Ireland (and hopefully back to Germany). It is a competiton.
This fifth geocoin represents the county I live in and its mission is to travel to Tory Island in Co Donegal ("Torai na dTonn" [GC1C9KK]). Although I have not been to Tory Island so far, I would like to visit this island, because I read a lot about it in travel guides. I cycled round Co Donegal in Summer 1993 on my tour from Derry to Carrick-on-Shannon and was very impressed by the landscape of this beautiful county. I have heard they have their own king on Tory Island. So this coin starts for the "Kingdom of Tory Island"
Now to the competition: Every time a finder takes this coin to a pub: 10 points. For each pint in the pub: 2 points. Every photo with finder in or in front of a pub: 20 points. Every cache this coin will visit in Ireland: 20 points. Every Geocacher Event this coin will attend: 50 points.
The other six geocoins go to Cape Clear (Co Cork) Great Blasket Island (Co Kerry), Inishbofin (Co Galway), Mullet Peninsula (Co Mayo) and Inishtrahull Island (Co Donegal).
So Men and Women of the "Kingdom of Tory Island" it is up to you to support your kingdom and beat Cork, Kerry, Galway, Mayo and Donegal! Take this coin to your local pub, drink your usual Guinness, take a picture and put it in the nearest cache. Have fun and good luck!!!
At the moment the kingdom of Tory has got 120 points.
1st: Cork Go to Ireland #4 630 points
2nd: Mayo Go to Ireland #3 322 points
3rd: Donegal Go to Ireland #6 192 points
4th: Kerry Go to Ireland #1 136 points
